While the rate of annualized inflation has fallen closer to levels deemed healthy by economic policymakers, the collective increase in prices compared with just a few years ago has left everyday Americans feeling sour about the state of the national economy. Additionally, it bolsters two themes emerging as hallmarks of today’s post-pandemic economy.
